You need to create a directory in your home called '~/A_sauvegarder':
| Volet |
|---|
| mkdir mkdir ~/A_sauvegarder |
Inside this directory you need to create symbolic links (with 'ln -s ...') to all the directories/files you would like to get backed up every weekend.
| Volet |
|---|
cd ~/A_sauvegarder |
The '-s' is very important!!!
'target' can be any directory or file you would like to get backed up.
You only need to put a 'link_name' if you want the name of the link to be different from the target directory or file you link to. For example, if you want to get your directory '/data_space/Project/Images' get backed up your command to create the link could look like:
ln -s /data_space/Project/Images
However, if you have more than one directory with the same name you would like to back up, for example, '/data_space/Project_A/Images' and '/data_space/Project_B/Images' you could create the links with:
ln -s /data_space/Project_A/Images Images_A
ln -s /data_space/Project_B/Images Images_B
Check the links you created with a simple:
| Volet |
|---|
| ls -l |
3) Make sure the total amount of your data stays below 1 TB
Since, as usual, disk space is limited, your data will NOT get backed up if the total amounts to more than 1 TB. You can check the total space of the data you would like to get backed up with the command:
| Volet |
|---|
| du du -Lhsc Lhsc ~/A_sauvegarder/* |
That's all folks!
